No one trusts these review companies actually. They simply exist to extort entities that get reviewed either to remove negative reviews or promote or even auto-post fake positive reviews. Yelp is a classic example that did this for years.
Clearly the solution is a review company for review companies.
I believe that Glassdoor exists almost purely because salary information is not public. While company reputation and reviews are of interest, the salary information is likely much more a driver of traffic. And based on my attempted use of the site, Glassdoor is unreliable and (intentionally) misleading. Even at the most basic level, their UI flatly lies about what data they possess. If you search a company, in the sa…
https://www.levels.fyi/ is a grest site for actual salary information on tech related jobs. The data reported very much matched my last round of interviews and the data granularity is good, being able to see levels, location, pay breakdowns, and even dates when the salary was posted.

Can you foresee a scenario where a review site could legitimately exist without turning to synthetic reviews, dark UI patterns, or outright brand extortion?
I used to work at Desktop Metal which was (at the time) a pretty small startup here in Boston. When I left, I wrote a pretty negative review on Glassdoor about what I felt was a toxic work environment. At the time I submitted my review, there were probably about 10 reviews for the company. The very next day after my review was posted, about 7 positive reviews popped up. Obviously pretty suspicious behavior, but when…
Same is happening to Google Maps. I and other reviewers had left negative reviews for Cosuno Ventures GmbH as it's an incredibly toxic and horrible place to work in. I received a take-down notice from a German Google Maps review employee saying that Cosuno is claiming it's a false review and they don't know how who am I. Even though I worked at the company for 4 months with the CTO and had responded to the e-mail wit…
I bet I'd be at risk of getting sued in Germany even if I wrote a positive review about a company. The moment you post an opinion online you are opening yourself as a target.

Same situation except mine offered a day of pay upon spinning positivity. After this personal whoring, I was sure to leave a complementary negative review from a shill account.
You know, the account you wrote the positive review with was the shill account.

Only if it was driven by a non-profit org I guess
Perhaps a site that included both reviews of companies and (paid) job postings from reviewed companies could survive. Of course misbehaving companies would probably stop spending there, but that might not be a bad thing.

I saw a glassdoor salary range for a job at my company. I know that the internal range is 50-100% higher than what glassdoor suggests. And then I wonder why no one's applying. Companies should just publicly advertise compensation.

I’ve always just assumed glassdoor was a fake / scam site since.
